Blackburn could learn lessons on tax policy from Thatcher

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn wrote a beautiful article (Tennessee Voices, April 22) on attending former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral.

Many in the United States admired Thatcher greatly and rightly so, but Rep. Blackburn needs to remember that the prime minister allowed for tax increases to help confront the deficit in her country.

We could only hope that Rep. Blackburn, who reveres President Ronald Reagan as well as Thatcher, would realize their tax policies would assist our country now in its deficit battle and vote accordingly.
